Historical Perspective 1860’s Mendel proposed that discrete factors segregated and independently assorted during gamete formation. Genetics Cytology 1875: Cytologists worked out the process of mitosis. 1890: Cytologists worked out the process of meiosis. 1900: Three botonists (Correns, deVries and von Seysenegg) independently rediscovered Mendel’s Principles 20 years after his death. Early 1902: Walter Sutton, Theodor Boveri and others hypothesized that genes are on chromosomes.

Drosophila melanogaster
Morgan’s Symbols Wild Type Mutant
Morgan’s Symbols (homozygote recessive) (heterozygote) White Eyes = w Red Eyes = w+ w+ww+w ww

Sex-linkage in Drosophila
First Filial Generation of Fruit Flies Male Female w+ (X chromosome) w+ w w (X chromosome) Y chromosome w+ (X chromosome) w+ w w+ y F1 Phenotype All red Eyes Genotype Females= w+w Males= w+y Parentals
Second Filial Generation of Fruit Flies Male Female w+ (X chromosome) w+ w w+ (X chromosome) Y chromosome w (X chromosome) w+ w+ w+ y w y F2 3/4 red eyes 1/4 white eyes Only males had white eyes F1 generation
